Riddle Poems
Waterfall
Through dark quietude, soft, serpentine
Sequins in sequences approach the precipice
Ice to liquid - shining hearts!
Everlasting angels - light and dark
Gather on the surface - silent seraphim
Till unexpected, they begin...
...Then rubies
And emeralds
And rainbows
And pearls
And opals and topaz and sapphires fall
And diamonds and tears and starlight hurled
At wheels within wheels within worlds within worlds
From the sea, to the sea
Tumbling to infinity
Day
Night
Morn
Noon
Gold
Silver
Sun
Moon
All alive is all aloud
Chaos of a circus crowd
What dizzy imagination spirals
Magical, out of control
Falling, arcing, splashing, sparking
Giggling, singing, dancing, laughing
Like a warehouse in a dream
Full of all I've ever seen
And eighty-eight piano keys...
A kiss
Quick! Bliss!
Don't Miss!
A silver fish?
Or just a twist
Of a blue ribbon
A silk thread
A fairytale or fantasy
Tears shine, like a Sweet Galilean Mystery
And Decembers made of silver
And gold Junes
And cappuccino midnights
And milk moons
Invisible spoons
In chocolate lagoons
As halos, below
Tremble, through scattered snow, and lo
A whole ocean in the sky
Rushes by
As tears tumble, jumble, thunder
From above
Out of heaven
Like Love.
